zinc-nickel electrodeposits have been widely adopted for surface treatment of automobile steel sheet for high corrosion resistance. in this work the effect of pulse parameters on the zn-ni alloy electrodeposits was investigated. the hardness, thickness, corrosion resistance and composition of deposits thus produced were investigated. the surface topography of the deposits was also observed in s...

Synergism of Saccharum officinarum (sugarcane) and Ananas comosus (pineapple) extract additives on the quality of electroplated zinc on mild steel in acid chloride solution was investigated experimentally at ambient temperature (*28 C). The experiments were performed at different plating times (15 and 18 min), additive concentrations (2, 2.5, 3 ml/50 ml of acid chloride solution), pH 5, tempera...

The efficiencies of three enrichment broths and four plating media for isolation of enteric pathogens were compared from 1,117 stool specimens. Direct streaking proved to be inferior to enrichment, detecting only 50% of the salmonellae and 61% of the shigellae. By contrast, Selenite Broth (SF) found 90% of the total salmonellae isolates and 82% of the shigellae isolates. Gram-Negative Broth (GN...

Experimental investigations have been performed to determine the effects of nicotiana tobaccum (tobacco) extract additive on the electrodeposition of zinc on mild steel in acid chloride solution. The experiments were performed under different plating time, different additive concentrations and fi xed pH conditions. Zinc electrodeposition on mild steel was performed using a DC – supply at defi n...

Five hundred-nanometer-thick ZnO-based textured polycrystalline films consisting of 490-nm-thick Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films deposited on 10-nm-thick Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) films exhibited a high Hall mobility (μ H) of 50.1 cm(2)/Vs with a carrier concentration (N) of 2.55 × 10(20) cm(-3). Firstly, the GZO films were prepared on glass substrates by ion plating with dc arc discharge, and the AZO films ...

Transparent Conductive Oxide Polycrystalline In2O3:Me (Me: W, Ce) and solid-phase crystallized In2O3:Me,H films with high electron mobility can be fabricated at low process temperatures of ≈200 °C by ion plating DC arc discharge, known as high-density plasma enhanced evaporation or reactive deposition (RPD). More details found in article number 2000487 Takashi Koida Yuko Ueno.

Electrodeposition of zinc on mild steel in acid chloride solution using as additive, different concentrations of ananas comosus (pineapple) juice extracts, was investigated. Different additive concentrations, plating time, and constant pH conditions were used for the experiments. The electrodeposition of zinc on mild steel was performed using a DC – supply. The surface of the plated steel was e...

The use of pulsed dc-sputtering sources for reactive magnetron sputtering with oxygen offers a possibility to suppress the negative effects target poisoning (such as arcing). This results in wide process range selection desired operating point. control plays major role maintaining constant coating properties and affects stoichiometry coating, well rate economic impact process. In hysteresis, du...

The loss at 210-280 GHz of room temperature waveguides plated with BDT 200 bright gold and Pur-A-Gold 125 soft gold is within ~10% of the theoretical loss based on the DC conductivity of pure gold and the classical skin effect. This is not the case for some other types of gold plating meeting the same ASTM (or MIL) specs but in which a trace of nickel is used as a brightener. Introduction Follo...
